Well North Eastern Ontario got hit with a bad storm yesterday (weather warnings of thunder, hail, and tornado). Mostly blew over the Sault with no issues...but down the line got hit hard, especially St. Joseph Island.

Actually, this has taken on a bit more of a serious tone.

My x ray appointment this afternoon went well enough, but I am now sitting in the Emergency Room, waiting to see a doctor about a possible nasty case of bronchitis.

At least I'm hoping it's bronchitis.

Already had a tem day run of antibiotics, and two weeks of an allergy related puffer.  Just keeps getting worse.

I am coughing so hard that I can't sleep, my sides hurt, I am getting headaches, and I feel nauseated.  Oh, and since I can't breathe so well during a coughing fit I get really dizzy.

So, yeah, generally unpleasant.  I've been ignoring it since probably February.

X Rays show no indication of the bad things that I was preparing for in the dark corners of my mind, so that is a HUGE relief.

Still trying to work out what is wrong, and how to deal with it though.  Honestly, I'm just glad it isn't what I thought it may have been.

I actually went to a doctor weeks ago.... but I'm between doctors at the moment.

There is a significant doctor shortage here, and I am one of the lucky ones who actually has a doctor.  Megan doesn't, hasn't for years, and neither does her mother, and they both desperately need a doctor more than I do.  Which is odd, because we have several extremely well respected medical schools here.   :facepalm:

However, while we were in Ottawa, my doctor of almost 20 years retired, and I was lucky enough to get in with his replacement when I got back to NS.

Unfortunately, he recently left for Ontario, and, while I already have a guaranteed slot with his replacement, that doctor is not expected to be here until the end of September I think.   

So, in a roughly 22 year span, I will have a month where I am doctorless, and apparently that is the same month that my lungs decide to stop working.   :facepalm:

Oh well, I mean, who really needs oxygen anyway?

Besides my seizures which started when I was like 2, one night about 8yrs ago we were out with a bunch of friends sitting by a fire pit and all of a sudden my breathing went nuts! It was as if I was breathing but I wasn’t getting air, it just wasn’t there, but I was breathing,, luckily there was a hospital right around the corner and a friend drove us, they made me walk around the floor inhaling this smoky looking thing for like 15min, they did a few tests and said I supposedly have a little asthma, :dunno: thus no more cigars,, the one doc said I should inhale one of those puff thingies twice a day but that didn’t last because I couldn’t stand it, my thing is heavy smoke or certain chemicals like when the Mrs cleans, or doing the cats littler box, it like stops me, I got to cover my face with the shirt and try to get fresh air,, the odd thing is I’ve never had it before then all of a sudden boom it happens. :dunno:

X Rays show no indication of the bad things that I was preparing for in the dark corners of my mind, so that is a HUGE relief.
Phew! Glad to hear it.  :tu:

At one point, while in the waiting room, I got up to use the washroom.  I had done this several times, as the coughing triggered massive runny nose....

On this instance though, when I came back, a lady was about to sit in my seat.  I was a bit further away than I was comfortable with (I hate yelling at people), but it beat the alternative.  I said, very loudly, "you may not want to sit there, I've been sitting there for a while and coughing heavily."

The fear in the woman's eyes as she jumped up and almost ran in terror.

Having a bad cough in a pandemic has its lighter moments.  :D

This just keeps getting funnier....

I am a construction inspector for the government.  Most of my day is hanging around a construction site (we are replacing a bridge on the highway near DerekMac's place right now) and "monitor the government's interests" which means I don't do much.

I told the guys on site about my death on Friday  and they didn't take it very seriously.

Then, this morning, unbeknownst to me, they sent another inspector to this site.  This isn't a big deal, as inspectors get moved around or stuck places they aren't needed because, well, they have to pay us anyway, might as well put us somewhere.

I didn't know the other inspector was coming, but she got here significantly earlier than I did, which really freaked the guys out because I told them I was going to die on Friday and there was someone else here to do my job Monday morning!   :ahhh

When I finally showed up they were all looking at me funny  and then we all started laughing- all except the other inspector, who couldn't figure out why me not being dead was so funny!

I actually went to a doctor weeks ago.... but I'm between doctors at the moment.

There is a significant doctor shortage here, and I am one of the lucky ones who actually has a doctor.  Megan doesn't, hasn't for years, and neither does her mother, and they both desperately need a doctor more than I do.  Which is odd, because we have several extremely well respected medical schools here.   :facepalm:

However, while we were in Ottawa, my doctor of almost 20 years retired, and I was lucky enough to get in with his replacement when I got back to NS.

Unfortunately, he recently left for Ontario, and, while I already have a guaranteed slot with his replacement, that doctor is not expected to be here until the end of September I think.   

So, in a roughly 22 year span, I will have a month where I am doctorless, and apparently that is the same month that my lungs decide to stop working.   :facepalm:

Oh well, I mean, who really needs oxygen anyway?

Def

Well, you know doctors. Just don't hold your breath.

Have you tried some variants? Like:

"You may not want to stay in front of me in this line, I've been standing there for a while and coughing heavily."

"You may not want to buy that last pack of Oreos, I've been holding them for a while and coughing heavily."

"You may not want to give me a ticket, I've been installing those windshield wipers for a while and coughing heavily."
